Israel's police commander resigned Sunday after a government commission said he ignored ties between senior officers and underworld figures and failed to ensure a thorough investigation into the 1999 killing of a suspected crime boss.
Moshe Karadi announced his intention to resign at a news conference at police headquarters in Jerusalem. He said the government would determine when he would step down.
The commission, headed by a judge, harshly criticized Karadi and other senior police commanders for their handling of the 1999 killing and other offenses involving a well-known Israeli crime family.
